Transcribed from the clipping

“Israeli troops chasing militants in the West Bank surrounded homes… brought back for security reasons. Israel’s latest occupation of Bethlehem came after a Palestinian suicide bomber from the town blew himself up on a bus in Jerusalem on Nov. 21, killing 11… after soldiers imposed a curfew, hundreds of Palestinians protested and threw rocks at soldiers, who opened fire, killing an 18-year-old.”
